1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike Lane. Very wild game in Tampa. You guys

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: get your second all time win over the Lightning. Berkeley

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: Catton dropped the gloves. You had a big game from

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: the likes of Copple, Coco and Brandon Montor. So much

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: to unpack from that overtime win. Take us through it.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we know it was a It was a

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: high compete game. Obviously it needs to be at this

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: time of the year. I thought our guys stepped up

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: to the plate. We had some bumps and bruises throughout

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: the game where a couple of guys were out with

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: concussion protocols and things like that for a period of time,

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: and I thought that everybody stepped up and you know,

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: did their job and we worked our way through it. Certainly,

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: I thought Berkeley Caton sparked our hockey team, you know,

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: And that's kind of the way he's been. It's been

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: a great year for him, a great learning year form,

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: a great experience for him, and he just keeps getting better.

18
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Probably not ideal to see your nineteen year old eighth

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: overall draft pick dropping the gloves, but what did you

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: would you like about that willingness and that battle level

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: from him, Well, it.

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: Just shows you that he cares about his team and

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: his teammates, you know, And you know that's like I said,

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: that's I thought it was great from that standpoint because

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: that shows you what kind of leadership you're going to

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: get out of this kid. And so from my perspective,

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: it's a great pick.

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: Copple. Cockle's been having a really good set of games

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: after the Olympics. What did you say something to him

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: coming back from Italy? Where do you like about his

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: game right now?

32
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: Well, you know what he's I think, in my opinion,

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: everybody thought the break was going to be so good

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: for guys that were getting the break. I think the

35
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: break has been a lot better for guys that went

36
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: and played. And you know, he kept his rhythm going,

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: he kept his momentum going, and you know he's just continuing.

38
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: He's getting to the net more than he was. You know,

39
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: he's playing good hockey for us. He's battling, he's proving

40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: it the time of the year that he has an

41
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: idea of what it takes.

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: You talked about the injuries that you had in that

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: Tampa game. You call up Logan Morrison on an emergency

44
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: basis can you share some updates from the Tampa game

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: and a peak in your lineup tonight?

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everybody's pretty much status quo tonight. Rgan

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: was called up on, you know, a precautionary basis, but

48
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 2: as it stands right now, we should be status quo.

49
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo on track to break a fourteen year playoff drought

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: this season probably one of the best stories in the NHL.

51
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: You haven't seen this team since back in December and

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: they continue to win. What do you like about their

53
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: team and what type of challenges do they present to

54
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Seattle tonight.

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: There's a lot to like about their team. You know,

56
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: they're big, they're skilled, they're fast, their d can all skate,

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: they're long, heavy. They've done a nice job of building

58
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: that team over the course of time, and they're starting

59
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: to reap the rewards of you know, that building process.

60
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 2: So the city is excited, the building will be electric.

61
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: It's going to be a hard hockey game tonight. They're

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: a great hockey team right now.

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: It seems like they've added a lot of physicality into

64
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: their game in recent weeks. How important is that side

65
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: of it going to be here tonight for Seattle?

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: Well, you saw what happened in Tampa too. You know,

67
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: playoff games or about physicality, and they're ramped up. Like

68
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: I said after the game, probably even forty percent more

69
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: than it was in Tampa. If we thought that game

70
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: was physical. Playoffs is another level. And you know, these

71
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: teams that are in that situation and in that moment,

72
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: you know, and then I've added those veteran players at

73
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: these this time are fully understanding that that is sort

74
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: of an element that has to be turned up at

75
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: this time of the year. So it's going to be

76
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: a challenge for us again, and it's a great experience

77
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: for us.

78
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: You took a really strong third period in Florida overtime

79
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: into Tampa, you got the win there. What do you

80
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: need to do to continue building especially all these last

81
00:03:59,160 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: four periods.

82
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: Got to have a good start tonight. I've got to

83
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: continue building that momentum. You know, we can't we can't

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: go down you know, two or three goals, clearly, you

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: know we've got to come out of the first period

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: either even or up. And that's going to be the

87
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: focus here to start the game. They obviously have I

88
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: don't consider three losses in a row because they lost

89
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: in overtime twice. But you know they're going to be

90
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: a hungry team tonight. They haven't won here at home

91
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: in three games
